Plz explain it in a clear manner
Dear Student
Mass of the body remains same everywhere.
Weight of the body changes as acceleration due to gravity of the place changes.
So
If man weighs 600 N on Earth then
W = mg
m = W/g = 600 /10 = 60 Kg., mass of man on Earth.
Now on moon also mass remains same. so m = 60 kg on moon too.
Now on moon W = 100 N
So
100 = 60 gm
gm =100/60 = 10/6 m/s2
So acceleration due to gravity on moon is 10 /6 m/s2
